A Different look at Disney...

Although "Disneyland U.S.A." (42 minutes, narrated by Winston Hibler) is not much more than a 1956 Disney CinemaScope promotional film masquerading as a travelogue short, for park aficionados it's the definitive look at Disneyland: Year One. Today, as the park marks it's 53rd anniversary, I thought a peek at this film's helicopter shots would be a good way to see just how much the park has evolved over the years. (We'll keep the commentary short and let the stills do all the work here.)
